Hi Sam and Nina, Well, it seems we're finally getting a taste of what it's like to live in a war zone, right here in New York. Thank God we are all safe, and so far, we don't know of any close relatives or friends who were touched by the World Trade Center/Pentagon disaster. How has the news coverage been where you are? It's pretty shocking over here. I can stand at a bridge near my job and look over the water, and see the smoking skyline where the World Trade Center used to stand. Billows of smoke fill the sky as if a sniper simply blew out those two buildings. I guess that's really what happened. In some ways, I think it's good for us Americans to be reminded of what many parts of the rest of the world deal with almost every day. This is an important wake-up call for us, to remind us to be aware of the rest of the world, because we are all connected. Perhaps this will make Americans more conscious of global politics. I wonder if this event will breed a whole new generation of political science students. We still don't know who's responsible for this, but I hope that we Americans don't become hateful toward whatever ethnic group the terrorists belonged to; after all, they were terrorists, not necessarily representative of the views of their fellow countrymen. I suppose only time will tell. It's a little slow and quiet here at the office; it was hard to get to work, and a lot of roads are closed. Whenever we hear planes, we tend to get scared because there are no commercial jets flying right now, so we know that the jets we hear must be military. We only hope that they are friendly planes, not foreign. I was supposed to fly to Chicago on Friday, but now, my mom wants me to cancel. I don't think it'll be unsafe, but if nothing else, there will be a very long wait at the airport. I suppose she's right: don't fly immediately after a national air disaster. On my way to work, there was a lot of debris on the highway. I think it was ash and detritus carried back by police and rescue vehicles that had been at the scene of the disaster; it must have fallen off the cars. How are you?
